Best Answer

Yes. Its a tough job. You have to remove the dash panel, including the steering wheel and steering column and then remove the plenum box which involve evacuating the refrigerant system and draining the radiator. Once you get the heater box out, replacing the heater core will take about 10min and then you have to put it all back together and recharge the AC and fill the radiator.

If you are seeing leak problems with the system, you will have to go through this process. If the problem is lack of heat and/or AC control, the problem is more likely the blend door. This is a common fail on the Cherokee. You can get diagnostic information and an inexpensive fix on the HeaterTreater web site.

How difficult is it to replace the AC evaporator on a 1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport?

The evap is in the heater box which is bolted to the firewall behind the instrument panel (IP)assembly. The IP has to be removed in order to gain access to the heater box. After you remove the IP or detach it enough to gain access, the heater box bolts from the outside. The A/C will need to be evacuated and the heater hoses disconnected from the heater core. It is a job I would recommend for an experienced mechanic.
